University Sponsors 'Relay for Life' Cancer Fight

March 30, 2005

Saint Leo University is sponsoring East Pasco County’s “Relay
for Life,' benefitting the American Cancer Society, on Friday,
April 1 and Saturday, April 2 on Saint Leo University Campus in
front of the McDonald Center. “Relay for Life' provides an
opportunity for the local community to form sponsored teams to walk
around-the-clock, raising money for the many services that the
American Cancer Society provides.

Last year East Pasco “Relay for Life' raised $14,000, and this
year more than $16,000 has been raised to date, with more than 25
teams participating in the event. The areas of Pasco County
participating in the East Pasco “Relay for Life' include Dade City
and Zephyrhills. “Relay for Life' teams will walk from Friday night
at 6 p.m. until noon on Saturday.

Registration is $100 per team, and teams can be made up of just
a few people or a large group. If you are interested in forming
your own team or want to join an existing team, please contact Jen
Garcia at (352) 588-8266 or via e-mail at jennifer.garcia@saintleo.edu;
or Saint Leo Student Coordinator Amanda Davis at (352) 588-8978 or

The event provides non-stop support and entertainment for the
participants. Some of the planned activities include a banner
contest, drama class, scavenger hunt and a crazy hat lap.
Participants will also receive special T-shirts.
